Well as I said, I wasn't disputing his identification. Also I should have said that my question wasn't TAR related. Since Joab is in Singapore, it was an honest question on farming techniques in Indonesia. I never meant to imply the question was TAR related.

If you've been to China and Indonesia.. one look and you'll know it's China and not Indonesia. Is it a good explaination enough?

The rice patties in Indonesia doesn't look like those in the screencaps.

puddin, that could be it. Or it could be on the Li River near Guilin China. I was on a small boat trip a little south of Guilin between Yangshuo and Xingping 16 years ago. I have some some current photos of boats on the Li River. Some are easily the size you indicated. Thank you TexasLady and Peach for your guidance in how to post photos. I used to know but it's been a long time. The thing I forgot was use of the Additional Options box to replace the method which wasn't working for me.

My efforts to paste them here have not been successful, but if someone can give me a refresher in how to do that (I tried using IMG but not necessarily the right way) I can then post these 2 photos

Apskip, when you have the reply window open, look under Additional Options and you will see the "attach files" option on the left.

Karst topography is a type of surface profile that results from the weathering and dissolution soluble minerals. Usually it means limestons and dolomites. Do a google seach for karst topography and you get a lot of links and pictures. Those islands in Thailand where The Man with the Golden Gun was filmed are karst. There are areas in China that are famous for the karst. You end up with a bunch of isolated rock outcrops......sort of like christmas trees.....lots of pointed little mountains/hills

Peach, what Dr. Rox has said is true, but you may want a more basic explanation (and then again maybe not but you are about to get one). In the Guilin area karst is limestone formations where the enough limestone has dissolved by weathering/erpsion over many centuries to create the weird shapes (some phallic like the Iao Valley Needle on Maui; maybe we will see that in the finale although I hope they go with better sights).

Thanks guys!! That was a new word for me, but I know them when I see them I think, I just hadn't been introduced yet!

TAR is SO educational!
